International Classification:

G06F 19/00

US Classification:

701 22

Abstract:

An interactive driver system is provided that alleviates range anxiety for the driver of an electric vehicle. The system includes: a range monitor module that determines range of the electric vehicle and identifies a given condition of the vehicle in which the range of the vehicle may be exceeded during ongoing operation of the vehicle; a load monitor module that identifies one or more electric loads being placed on a battery of the electric vehicle; and a driver notification module that presents suggestions on a display of the vehicle to the driver of the vehicle for reducing energy consumption by the vehicle upon occurrence of the given condition, where the suggestions relate to the identified electric loads. The suggestions presented to the driver preferably identify an action to be taken by the driver that reduces energy consumption and an associated change in the range of the vehicle if the action is taken by the driver.

G01D 21/00

US Classification:

29464, 33645

Abstract:

A system and method for the installation and removal of monitoring equipment is disclosed. In some embodiments, the monitoring equipment may be installed or removed using a remotely operated vehicle. In certain implementations, the monitoring system includes a sensor assembly connectable to a tubular member, an alignment tool for installing or removing the sensor assembly to and from the tubular member, and an alignment cage for facilitating access of the alignment tool to the sensor assembly. In some embodiments, the alignment tool may be aligned with the sensor assembly for installation or removal as a result of the alignment tool being inserted through the alignment cage.

Abstract:

Methods and systems are disclosed and include receiving a first reporting signal from a vehicle-to-everything communication system. The first reporting signal includes data indicating (i) a noise measurement of a communication channel and (ii) a location associated with the noise measurement. The method includes determining the location is associated with a noisy region in response to a value of the noise measurement exceeding a first threshold value. The method includes generating an entry based on the first reporting signal in response to the value of the noise measurement exceeding the first threshold value. The method includes storing the entry in a database that includes a plurality of additional entries. The method includes generating an alert based on at least one of the entry and the plurality of additional entries. The alert is configured to indicate a presence of noise at a location associated with one of the entries.

Abstract:

Systems and methods of characterizing an inter-vehicle wireless (IVW) communication system of a vehicle under test (VUT) that includes a communication device are described. The VUT and an instrumentation antenna are positioned at first and second locations, respectively. An azimuth angle is varied between the communication device and the instrumentation antenna by performing rotation of (a) the VUT at the first location while leaving the instrumentation antenna fixed in the second location or (b) the instrumentation antenna in a circular path about the first location while leaving the VUT fixed in the first location. For each of specified azimuth angles, receive performance of the IVW communication system is tested by transmitting packets through the instrumentation antenna to the IVW communication system, receiving packets at the IVW communication system and estimating and recording an error rate indicating a level of success of packets being received by the IVW communication system.

Abstract:

A computerized method characterizes a dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) system that includes at least one DSRC device for use with a vehicle-to-vehicle communication system. The method includes positioning a vehicle under test (VUT) with the DSRC system at a first location and positioning a DSRC instrumentation antenna at a second location spaced apart from the first location. The method includes varying an azimuth angle between the DSRC device and the instrumentation antenna by performing a rotation of the VUT in place at the first location or the instrumentation antenna in a circular path about the first location. The method includes, for multiple azimuth angles, testing receive performance of the DSRC system by transmitting DSRC packets through the instrumentation antenna to the DSRC system, estimating an error rate indicating a level of success of DSRC packets being received by the DSRC system, and recording the error rate for each angle.
